Man, I hated the tail lights when the refresh was revealed...seeing them on the ZL1 there, they look worse. They're just so plain. The Camaro lost its distinctive styling on the rear end with this refresh. It just doesn't flow well with the rest of the car.

That rear end looks hideous... The tail lights don't match the style and are too plain. The license plate recessed area looks like a big box shaped dent. The rear diffuser goes way too high on the rear.

I don't know what they were thinking... Some people will like it. Some won't. I'm just glad I got a 2013. The rear end looks so much better IMO...

I can't say I like the rear diffuser much on the 2014 nor the tail lights.

However, the way my psychology works; if the 2014 turns out to be faster,
it will start looking better and better. That may not happen though. I'll
always regret that I could not buy a 2013 1LE new, and I'll probably pic up
a used one in the next 2 years.

When they decided they were going to change the front and rear ends they really had no choice but to go away from the quad tail lights. Circles have been done, C5-C6 Corvette. The oblong trapezoid looking shape has been done, C7 Vette. I guess they could have slapped four triangles back there but whatever they do the complaints are going to start rolling in. I love the 2013 1LE as much as anybody but I am really excited about getting a 2014 1LE. I cringed in horror as much as anybody when the 2014 was revealed on that cheesy talk show but it grew on me in 2 days and now to the point where I will have no regrets. The complaints about the C7's rear have slowed to a crawl and it's only a matter of time before people start coming around with this new design. It is possible to like both styles, at least from my side of the fence.

I'd still be excited to get a '14 too. Sure I like exterior styling of the '13 better but those Recaro seats would have been nice. Like most things, there are trade offs. '13 or '14, either way, both will be fun as hell to drive!
